So you're the lazy bastard who pushes in front of me every fucking time! Well I'm warning you that starting tommorrow I'm just going to run into you. I used to think you pushed in because you were a rude, ignorant slob and I took pity. I now see it's because you think you have some sort of right to behave like a jerk. Ring your insurance company for tommorrow you pay.
How do you get the crew back? It's my understanding that after launch there is no recovery method for crews. So all you can do is tell them thay ain't going to survive re-entry. Would you tell them?
If you want a stable, stress tested kernel then stress test it. No one else is going to.
You mean your company took a product and ran it live with no testing?
Testing does not ensure there are no bugs it just lets you know what it finds. Pretty obvious really but the number of programmers who think once something is tested it's magicaly bug free.
The issue is not so much CS, were most of the students are learning concepts. Although, I've met a few CS majors who seemed to have missed the computer part of the course while also avoiding the science part.
The issue is that most people are not taught concepts but rather tools. It's here that MS is buying it's future.
Until we can throw 40ton containers into high orbit as easily as we ship them from SF <-> NY we should stop fooling ourselves that manned explotation of space has begun.

Legitimate? Legal yes, legitimate I think not. Bit like having a HQ in the Camen Islands and claiming to be an American company. Nice tax breaks in the Islands. American cars built in Mexico. etc. etc.
The really stupid thing is not having back ups. That is what I cannot fathom. Getting cracked, it happens and you deal with it. But not having backups, that's just plain incompetence.
I really liked the difference in parks US vis UK. Being a Brit in the US I totally agree.
The US is only now entering the phase were people understand the law is just a tool used by the monied people to keep their money. I would do the same if I had money.
Breaking the law is not a big deal, breaking certain laws can be a very big deal, but in general do as you would like others to do to you. Or do good things for the good of all.
Which technology was the trigger that allowed greed to become profitable? It is also the point at which Joe Public showed up on the net. The dream died there and then. A horrible but accurate demonstration that mankind has not evolved in millenia.
Zero experience, but plenty of training on how to avoid the experience.
The problem is that people don't just stand still and let themselves be poisoned, they move out of the danger zone, upwind etc. If you could force feed everyone their required dose it would be highly effective, but you can't most of your 5lbs is wasted.
On the battle field soldiers have to sit still and that's why they wear the fancy clown suits. However on the battlefield there is also allies, this slight porblem means the number of uses for chemical/biological weapons is limited.
A lone sniper is a very cheap way to instill fear and disruption. That's why most armies have sniper schools. In Vietnam how did the US stop the VietCong from using mortars? They instructed the snipers only to shoot VietCong that were carrying the tripod, pretty soon no-one wanted to carry a tripod, no tripod no mortar.
The father and step son team on the east coast of the US were very effective at gaining media coverage. Imagine if it had been organised. Five snipers could have the US public in fits. The first one starts up in NY, he gets caught. The next one starts up in LA etc etc. How would you defend against them?
Why don't you stop posting crap and go and write some code? Oh wait a minute I forget you can't write code. Instead you post trolls for articles. How sad, even sadder is that you're still working for/. We got rid of Jon Katz I'm hoping you're next.

What's this killing the men, don't women get this career choice as well? I demand equality.
Was there IT between 1963 & 1973?
When did the IBM S/360 appear?
In conclusion yes there was IT/DP back then.
OK so they do all the tests.

What he meant was.
My employees have exhausted every avenue and I'm going to take credit for their toil.
dude, if you're gonna trust the law, learn about lawyers. They're just like cornered rats only not as friendly.

It's even better when UK politicians start up.

Jamie you prick, WTF is this about? What are you the next Jon Katz. No news, no facts, no tech.
"Good thing they're handling it and not you."
Yep, I expect important data to be backed up and I get V pissed when newbies try to blame data loss on circumstance.
If you didn't plan for an event then the fault lies with you not the event. Do you think the FSF backup policy might change after this?
Disaster Recovery, the important word is recovery!

The smaller the company the less the politics.
In my experience small companies don't tolerate or attract politicians. There is also a much sharper focus on who is in charge.
Large companies where the right hand doesn't know who the left hand is, is where politics run rife.
5/10LBS of bio or chem is not going to do anything. Jesus you've been reading the Dept. Homeland Defense propaganda again, haven't you?
The best chemical weapon is one that has a large percentage of pb. Injected at over Mach 1.
AS/400 != Mainframe
If you want you can pick up an account on an AS/400 for $20 per month http://www.NETSHARE400.com/
Look up timeshare for main frames, IBM was setting up Linux mainframe dev accounts through their tech dev thingy.
